Lore Entry: Undead Adversaries in Natural Fantasy

Clinging to life so fiercely that one becomes undead is a classic of the high fantasy genre: ancient warlocks becoming abominable liches, entire spectral armies forced by ancient oaths to emerge from their graves, and so on. Brightvale frames this idea in a natural fantasy context, adding a touch of horror – the love of a steadfast community turned to unhealthy attachment and misfortune. This adversary doesn’t have any evil plan or grand ambitions, it lacks even a real conscience – it’s considered a Villain because it embodies the villagers’ fear and refusal to accept the natural order of life.

“Nothing remains of those ancient lands. Only sand, silence and a pale light far, far away.”
